Question for those that work for larger multi office companies. Are the operations the same or at least similar from office to office? For instance, if your home office is In California but they ask you to help out on a Florida assignment, can you expect the operation to be similar with what your roles are and both administration and professional responsibilities? And do the offices all use the same software? I’ve been assisting another office and it’s extremely frustrating.

In my experiences, yes. I’m based in Houston but I also do work for New York City (US Headquarters), Seattle and San Francisco

They sometimes format things differently office to office but the software seems to be pretty similarly used

Our US offices are very similar. We all use the same software and have the same deadlines and such. Formats and processes can differ, but they're similar. However, the US versus OUS regions are very different.

Overall operations, technology, and processes are similar BUT I've noticed engagement managers run things very differently depending on what region they are in.

Joining a big firm next week as fully remote lateral and flying out to home office for orientation. The schedule has me in office until 4:15. I’ve already been told I won’t have any actual work.

First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).
